Hindu GANESHA'S TRUNK
The trunk of
Ganesha does her
entwine
For she is
his valentine.
(to E&D)
DROUPADI ROSE
Busy bees chased
the bloom chaste
Though
they crawled on her
clothes
her petals unfolded
and those held close
still ever faithful
to the sun
is the everpure rose
Whether her hue
is violet or rose
Whether she grows
in freedom or rows
ever to God
in waves arose
the love perfume
from the heart of the rose.
BROOK'S COMMUNION
The little brook
prays for the communion
of rain
its chalice to fill
that it might
over
the thwarting
dam
to the sea spill
Eye goblets can't
contain the thrill..
joy tears swell and
into rivulets spill
BY VIBHUTHI SHIELD
By vibhuthi shield
are we healed
By His grace
do we yield
Only He the Knower
Only He the Field
Only He ..sudarshan
chakra.. can wield
CHERRY TREE FLAG OF INDIA
Cherry Tree
with blooms white
in the spring
and leaves summer
greening
.. turning flame orange
in the fall..
withdrawing to
meditate in the winter..
you remind me of
the flag of nonviolent Bharat.
DEITY IN THE TEMPLE
Krishna, the dark seed,
Icon installed
in the temple..
of the apple..
in its aperture
.. foiled is the deep brown
by the light fruit
..
He, the Deity, will quicken
.. when given the attention
of the sun, the rain,
and Mother Earth
CLEFT OF GRACE
In the deep forest
a secret waterfall
A Cleft of Grace
Cascade of 1000 Steps
.. heavenward
ascending staircase
down which grace
descends
COLORS
He was blue
because his friends
were called
reds and pinkos
by yellow journalists
funded by plutocratic
blackmailers
who had caused
brownouts to achieve
power
and taken over
corporations
with greenmailers.
But then he remembered
that God was in control.
CUNNINGHAM FALLS
It splashed
It rippled
It sheetglassed
It soared
It babbled
It seeped
and it soaped
and it roared.
It pooled
..cascaded
It gurgled
seatoward
but at its purest
was bubbleless
whitefoamless
Soundless
it poured.
Cunningham Falls to the shakti, the healing power, Sri Sathya Sai Baba pours through Saiananda Shroyer

PREMARGESHWARA
Prema
Marga
Premarga
Premargeshwara
Lord Shiva is
The Lord of the
Lane to Love
RAINDROP PARABOLAS
Raindrops make quiet
circles in the river..
current wands them
into parabolas..
lingas of infinity
SANNYAS
Baba said a true
sannyasi
does not stay
in any place more than
3 days.. gives up
all desire motivated
action.. and would
give his most precious
possession to any who
asked...
his home
his last dollar
his partner
his name
his comfort
his sanctuary
The poster stands on the
pier of the ocean of
liberation.. and turns
back.. not yet ripe
enough fruit to
separate from the
tree of attachment
WHY CANNOT THEY SEE GOD
they cannot see God
because the blood they've spilled
becomes a thick curtain
because the lies they've told
weave into a veil
because the cruelty they've done
mutates to a screen
because the thefts have turned
into sunblocking clouds
because their disbelief
has become a darkening shroud
TRUE
He spoke only the true
so had nothing to rue
FACE IN THE WELL
He could not
see his face
in the dark well
until a rain
of grace
did swell
and cause
waters to upwell
.. then he
saw his
face
in the well.
DUCKS IN A POND OF ALGAE
a pond totally carpeted
with green algae..
ducks land..
and create trails
.. do they write
in perfect Sanskrit
or in perhaps
some other script?
SHIVA NEVER SHOVES
Shiva never shoves
but as His dawn light
fills Night's void
she finds herself
slowly... joyed
****
brook's communion
by vibhuthi shield
cherry tree flag of india
cleft of grace
colors

ducks in a pond of algae

LAID DOWN HIS ARMS
Many in armistice
have laid down their arms
but few like the Saint
of Shirdi have been
able literally to lay
down their arms
(throw them in the corner)
at night.
RAM HANUMAN
He dropped into the
sea mountain ramparts
Only in maya
did he from Ram part.
(It is interesting
that the Seychelles
unlike other islands
are made of granite,
and not of volcanic,
sedimentary, or coral
atoll origin)
SATYA LIGHT
said the fruit tree
please don't
try to organize
my sweet fruit flies
.. each mango orb
has its own satellites
.. each fruit fly flies
to its own Satya Light
SHEEP IN QUEUES
as the Jim Jones people were programmed by
Vacaville California prison behavior modification agents
of the US government to self destruct
so are the American masses programmed
to stand in queues and PAY for 'flu shot' pharmaceutical cartel
POISON
.. so do fish customers
PAY FOR POISON POISSON
so do sheep go meekly to slaughter in some cases
and in others.. they quiver.. and go Baa Baa
those who rationalize animal eating say
that at least their appetite gave cows a chance
to exist.. however our consciousness at the moment
of death is the most important of all..
slaughterhouses send animals to God in a state
of terror, agony..
at least the sheep are chanting the name
of God, Baa Baa, as they go to Him

MOTHER BEFORE FATHER
In Sai Baba
Sai comes
before Baba
He is Divine Mother
before He is
Divine Father
GAYATRI MANTRA
when we chant
the Gayatri hymn
along with the Lord
of the Universe, Him
our voices His entwine
and rise to Heaven on
a Vine Divine

GARUDA LIGHT WINGS
Light curves out, spirals
out in spinning chakras
of waves.... takes
flight Garuda with
the wings of the Godbird

(Baba gave poster this thought
as she watched the sonic patterns
which accompany His bhajans
at http://www.sathyasai.org
in the bhajans link.. audio clips)
HARBINGER
Songbirds.. spring's
harbingers
are also Hari bringers
are also
Hara bringers
MAHAGANESH
Harm no being
no weed bug or tree
says the fatbellied
son of Parvati.
Harm no fir, elm or neem..
not mango nor Mahaganesh'
mahogany
GANESHA BIRTH
From between 2 granite
flanks of the Parvati mountain
rose the moon of Ganesh
she had birthed effortlessy
..
*Mahaganesh: Great Ganesh: Ganesh is God in the aspect
of remover of obstacles, creative intelligence, etc.
GRAY CLOUD BLUE SKY
the thoughts of the mind
are clouds of white or grey hue
the consciousness
of the self realized master
is a sky of blazing blue
SEA SOUNDS
Krishna's conch shell
Triton's horn
steamer's foghorn
but sometimes
the gull's cry
sounds forlorn
SNAKEBITE
God the alchemist
has turned her snakebite
into a healing antidote
as Lord Shiva's angry
stare
has filled all with
eternal shakti.
BOBOLINK
In the woods
sing the bobolinks..
that Baba links
are Baba lings
-30-
MANY LIVES
Many lives it takes
to go to medulla
from muladhar..
the journey speeded
by the Guru Avatar
TIMOTHY
The Gayatri's "dheemahi"
rhymes with Timothy
BETEL JUICE
Baba's own betel
juice
shields from the
harm of
Betelgeuse
BABADEVAS
Sometimes Baba's devas (angels) would direct her
attention to an area which needed work.. with
a little star of light..
to attackers of the Avatar who project onto Him, the Cosmic Mirror, their own souls and to the writer who is sometimes angry with the Avatar for the suffering in the world
AWAKENING
the sun's rays
the lover's kiss
the guru's eyelight
awakens crown
with His cobra bite
SHAKTI'S DISCIPLES
Some of Shakti's disciples
love her storms..
waves crashing upon rocks..
seaspray
multiplying the light
MIRACLES
Baba turns cocaine into
salt.
Jesus turns water into wine.
and Maharaji turns into juice
the rain which falls upon the vine.
BABA'S BILLIONS OF FACES
Baba's face
is as changeable as water...
becoming the ishtadevata of each
... mirroring the projected
favorite form of GOD
BABA'S VISION
Baba you tell us we are each God...
that you look upon sin as a mother looks upon her baby's
first attempts to walk
I see my overeating .. you see my control
I see my gossip... you see my silence
I see my neglect... you see my nurturing
I see my hoarding.. you see my fearlessness
I see my love of comfort... you see my atma
HARI OM
Says
Hari Om...
Hurry Home
PROBABALY
probably
...
could be spelled proBABAly
wherever there is Swami
there is no doubt..
only certainty
